Police said Heather Batchler was pronounced dead at the scene of a crash that happened at about 10:30 a.m. on Bethel-Hygiene Road in Tate Township.

A preliminary police investigation said Batchler was driving east on Bethel-Hygiene Road in a 1994 Nissan Altima, when the car went off the right side of the road in a curve and continued off the left side of the road, where it overturned in a creek and was partially submerged.

Batchler's seat belt was on at the time of the crash. The cause of the wreck remains under investigation.
